Third Party Cookies

In some special cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third party cookies you might encounter through this site.

This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.

Third party analytics tools are used to track and measure usage of this site so that we can continue to produce engaging content. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site or pages you visit which helps us to understand how we can improve the site for you.

From time to time we test new features and make subtle changes to the way that the site is delivered eg: split testing the colours of buttons or the location of specific content. When we are still testing new features these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience whilst on the site whilst ensuring we understand which optimisations our users appreciate the most.

As we sell products and services it's important for us to understand statistics about how many of the visitors to our site actually make a purchase, request a quote or complete on a transaction, and as such this is the kind of data that these cookies will track. This is important to you as it means that we can accurately make business predictions that allow us to monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.

The Google AdSense and Google remarketing service we use to serve advertising uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times that a given ad is shown to you. The remarketing cookie will typically stay active for a period of 30 days.

The company also uses business intelligence tools to monitor your use of the site. This tool is called Gator Leads and enables us to provide you with the most relevant information about our products and services. This software enables us to understand your company's requirements and deliver a better sales experience. The software integrates into our Marketing Automation suite called CommuniGator which we use to send marketing communications to our customers, prospects and suppliers.
